C\u00e9sar\u00a0Cervantes is a Mexican art collector with an unconventional story and lifestyle. An\u00a0owner of a chain of taqueria<\/span>s with no formal education,\u00a0he started seriously collecting art 12 years ago. He enjoys most of his collection \u00a0in his home, an open-plan, modernist house located in the Pedregal de San Angel neighborhood of Mexico city. The house is not the high-design house you’d expect of an art\u00a0collector. (Take a virtual house tour at 01 Magazine<\/a>\u00a0and read their take on the experience below.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We love Cervantes’ comfortable library with a seating area of outdoor furniture (Reitveld crate furniture<\/a>?) and the disparate collection of sagging shelves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
